Satchell, Karla Fullner
Professor of Microbiology-Immunology
Bio
My research focuses on the role of secreted protein toxins on bacterial pathogenesis. The toxins we study are members of the MARTX family and are produced by Vibrio cholerae, a pathogen important for ... [more]
Schleimer, Robert P
Professor Emeritus of Medicine (Allergy and Immunology)
Bio
I am interested in the mechanisms of pathogenesis and treatment of a variety of allergic and inflammatory diseases associated with allergy. These include chronic rhinosinusitis, asthma, hay fever, rhi... [more]
Sporn, Peter H
Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary and Critical Care), Cell and Developmental Biology and Medical Education
Bio
Clinical Interests: asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung disease, SARCOIDOSIS. Research Interests: airway inflammation and remodeling in asthma and COPD; effects of ... [more]

Tetreault, Marie-Pier
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Gastroenterology and Hepatology)
Bio
In the Tetreault Lab, our goal is to better understand the crosstalk between epithelial cells and their surrounding microenvironment (immune cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells). A particular area o... [more]
Thaxton, Colby S
Associate Professor of Urology
Bio
Nanotechnology is the study of the fabrication, directed self-assembly, and characterization of materials that have size dimensions between 1 and 100 nanometers. In the context of biological nanostruc... [more]
Troyanovsky, Sergey M
Professor of Dermatology and Cell and Developmental Biology
Bio
Dr. Troyanovsky's research focuses on cadherin, intercellular adhesion, and signaling. Classic cadherins are critical proteins mediating cell-cell adhesion and various signaling pathways responsible f... [more]
Vaughan, Douglas E
Professor of Medicine (Cardiology)
Bio
My primary clinical interest is in adult cardiovascular disease. My practice has focused on the management and treatment of patients with coronary artery disease. I am also interested in the diagnosis... [more]
Wang, Chyung-Ru
Professor of Microbiology-Immunology
Bio
My research focuses on the immune function of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class Ib molecules in normal and diseased states. My lab is interested in understanding how MHC class Ib-restricted... [more]
Woloschak, Gayle E
Professor of Radiation Oncology and Radiology
Bio
My research is focused on two general areas: radiobiology and bionanotechnology. Work in radiobiology includes studies of the molecular biology of radiation responses, particularly radiation toxicitie... [more]
